Governors

The Governing Body of the school plays a key strategic role in the progress and development of the school, although the responsibility for the day to day running of the school is delegated to the Headteacher. The governors' role encompasses three strategic core functions:

Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

Shelley Primary School has a dedicated Governing Body which both supports and challenges the Headteacher and all staff. Regular full Governing Body meetings ensure that governors are kept informed of the school's progress and take the key strategic decisions needed to continue the school's development. Regular visits to the school, including 'learning walks' and discussions with key staff, enable governors to fulfill their quality assurance, monitoring role.

Current Governors do not hold any other Governing posts at any other educational establishments.

The Governing Body is made up of local authority, community, parent and staff governors, as shown below:
